1. If you, Lord, set your plumb-line -
Lord, have mercy -
We know well the truth you'll find -
Christ have mercy!
We're lost in our transgressions,
God of mercy,
Unless you can forget them
in your mercy.

2. If you take your judgement seat -
Lord have mercy -
there is hope for us who seek
your sweet mercy.
Steadfast love and faithfulness,
God of mercy,
Thus you make a way for us
in your mercy.
